Sampling
for Non-Intubated Patients
Single patient use, not to be re-processed.
Non-sterile / non-pyrogenic.
Does not contain natural rubber latex
Warning: Loose or damaged connections may compro-
mise ventilation or cause an inaccurate mea-
surement of respiratory gases. Securely con-
nect all components and check connections for
leaks according to standard clinical procedures.
Warning: Do not cut or remove any part of the sample
line. Cutting the sample line could lead to er-
roneous readings.
Warning: Check CO
2
and O
2
tubing regularly during use to
ensure that no kinks are present. Kinked tubing
may cause inaccurate CO
2
sampling or affect O
2
delivery to patient.
Caution: Ensure that tubing is not stretched during use.
Caution: Do not attempt to clean, disinfect, sterilize or
ush any part of the sampling line as this can
cause damage to the monitor.
Caution: Dispose of sampling lines according to standard
operating procedures or local regulations for the
disposal of contaminated medical waste.
Note: Replace the sampling line according to hospital
protocol or when a blockage is indicated by the
device. Excessive patient secretions or a build-
up of liquids in the airway tubing may occlude
the sampling line, requiring more frequent re-
placement.
Note: Sampling lines are recommended for use with
oxygen provided at up to 5l/min. At higher lev-
els of oxygen provision, dilution of CO
2
readings
may occur, leading to lower CO
2
values.
Federal law (U.S.) restricts this device to sale by or on the
order of a physician.
